This fort encloses the rocky summit of Ballywilline Hill. Oval on plan, it measures about 53m from ENE to WSW by 30m transversely (0.13ha) within a wall about 3m in thickness, though for the most part it is reduced to a band of rubble in which a few short runs of outer-facing stones are visible. A gap on the NE marks the position of the entrance, though it has been widened more recently. The interior, which is largely bare outcrop, is featureless.
